ORISE provides expertise in the medical management of radiation incidents through the operation of the Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site
(REAC/TS), a dedicated DOE facility located in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

ORAU, managing contractor of ORISE, collaborates with federal, state and local agencies to provide health communication and training solutions that enhance the well-being of the public and the nation’s workers.

Recently discontinued, the University Radioactive Ion Beam (UNIRIB) consortium consisted of eight partner universities that performed basic nuclear physics research using the fast-growing technique of radioactive ion beams.

ORAU, which manages ORISE for DOE, works closely with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to perform research focused on air quality, contaminant dispersion and climate through its Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division.

ORISE Science Education Programs by Sponsor

ORISE research participation programs provide students and faculty with experience at top government laboratories

Through its contract to operate the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education for the U.S. Department of Energy, ORAU partners with some of the most respected federally-funded research laboratories and programs.

Below are links to websites created specifically to provide information about these ORISE programs both for prospective applicants as well as for current research participants and the laboratory staff who mentor them.

The Science Education Programs at ORNL provide a wide variety of research experiences for students from K-12 to university students from undergraduates to postdocs as well as university faculty all at the historic ORNL facilities in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

The Research Participation Programs at the CDC are educational and training programs designed to provide college students, recent graduates, and university faculty opportunities to participate in project-specific CDC research and current public health research initiatives at their facilities in Atlanta, Ga.

The Internship/Research Participation Programs at EPA provide college students, recent graduates, and university faculty opportunities to participate in current environmental research in areas such as air and radiation, water quality, solid waste and emergency response.

The Research Participation Programs at FDA are designed to provide college students, recent graduates, and university faculty opportunities to participate in project-specific FDA research and developmental activities at eight different FDA facilities.

DOE Scholars offers unique opportunities for students or post-graduates to learn about the U.S. Department of Energy’s mission and operations in disciplines such as energy security, nuclear security, scientific discovery and innovation, environmental responsibility, and management excellence.

The Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy, is a 10-week summer internship program for students who have completed at least one year of study in a science, technology, engineering, or math major. The program's goal is to improve opportunities for minority and female students in these fields, but all eligible candidates are encouraged to apply.

The Department of Energy Carlsbad Field Office Fellowship Program provides opportunities for high school seniors, undergraduates, graduates and postgraduates to conduct mission-oriented research in Carlsbad, N.M., or at other sites throughout the DOE complex.

The Agricultural Research Service is the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s chief scientific in-house research agency responsible for developing and transferring solutions to agricultural problems of high national priority. The ARS Postdoctoral Research Program places postdoctoral researchers in frontline research posts around the nation.
